Tuesday, March 3: University Closing at 7 p.m.

Due to expected storm conditions, the University will close at 7 p.m. this evening. All classes starting at or after 7 p.m. are canceled. Individual professors may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online when the campus is closed, so students should check Blackboard and their email to learn of any alternate arrangements.

All Hartt Community Division activities after 3 p.m. today are canceled.

There are also 37 undergraduates who are graduating with University Honors, which means they chose to complete 18 credits in honors course work and, in some cases, a senior-year thesis or research project. This number of University Honors graduates exceeds last year's record of 36.

Saturday’s graduates will include the first graduating class in the University’s Master of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics (MSPO) program. Eleven students are graduating with MSPO degrees. (Two of these students—Stephen Charry and Taber Hammond—were part of a team that went to Peru in March to help fit people there with new prosthetics; see story here.
